Do I need a doctor's order to have my blood drawn?

Yes, a physician order is needed before any laboratory testing can be performed if you are filing the claim with insurance. The Medical Foundation does offer some Direct Access Testing which can be paid for at the time of the draw, which does not require a physician order. These tests and instructions for ordering can be found at www.YourDirectTest.com

Note: Patient preparation sheets for most testing procedures are available in English
and Spanish at all South Bend Medical Foundation laboratory sites.
